Hi,

We are planning to develop a client server application using C# and MySQL. We plan to sell the product on the shelf like any other software utility. We are worried about the decompilation of our product which does have some sort of edge over our competitors in terms of usability and bundled functionality.

How can we prevent our software from decompilation, so the business logic of the product remains intact?

We have heard about Reflector and other decompilers which makes our code very much vulnerable for copying.

Our customer base is not Corporates by medical practitioners who themselves may not do it but our competitors may want to copy/disable licensing so value of our software goes down.

Any suggestion to prevent this is most welcome.

regards..
